Customs, Etiquette, and Playing the Game

Manners

Based on ban-Iarla Daedin MacAoidh a’Mhonadh’s Protocol in the S.C.A. class notes.

Treat your lessers as your equals, your equals as your
betters, and those of high degree with respect and courtesy equal
to their achievements and stations.

The S.C.A. always strives to leave a site cleaner than
when we arrived.

Respect other’s property and camp. Think of it as their home
away from home and act accordingly. Ask permission if you wish to
examine someone’s clothing, personal affects, arms and armor.

Act as a Lord or Lady at all times – how can you go wrong?

Introductions: Present lower ranks to higher ranks. For
example, "Mistress Katherine, I’d like to present Lord Joe
from Kensingshire. Lord Joe, this is Mistress Katherine d’Talbot,
the autocrat of this event."
